Maui No Ka Oi – Kim decided he had found his home away from home while on vacation in Maui. Maui offered much of what he had come to love, balmy tropical weather, world class wind-surfing, easy island lifestyle and friendly people. After moving to Maui in 1994 Kim started a mobile auto mechanic business, putting his formal automotive skills and expertise to work. Kim’s attention to detail, expert customer service skills and trustworthy diagnosis quickly earned him a strong client base and a solid reputation throughout the island. In 2003, Kim made the big decision to turn his thriving business into a brick and mortar to better serve his growing workload and established KiwiCarCare Automotive Repair Shop. He prides himself in providing quality service at his shop and has developed an island-wide reputation of being the premier automotive and motorcycle specialists.

Kim’s foray into motorsport competition is extensive and even on the small Island of Maui he was able to find racing opportunities with the Maui Go-Karters Association www.mauigokart.com and auto-xing with the Sports Car Club of America – Maui Chapter www.mauiscca.com With the heart of a competitor who loves the rush of adrenaline, Kim now enjoys racing motorcycles on the mainland with the WERA (Western Eastern Roadracing Association) www.wera.com where he has placed 2nd and 3rd in his class. He has also recently returned to karting and has placed 2nd in the Tag Senior Class. When racing with the Maui SCCA he received many awards such as, Newcomer of the Month, First in Class (E-Mod), and numerous “Fastest Time of the Day” awards and finally the coveted Solo II MauiSCCA Championship.

Kiwi Logo – The Kiwi bird native to New Zealand is represented in both name and image at KiwiCarCare. Born and raised in Lake Taupo, New Zealand, Kim wanted to keep a little piece of his homeland with him. He chose the Kiwi bird as his business logo and put a black rugby shirt on him to reflect his favorite New Zealand Rugby team called the All-Blacks. Now this kiwi lives in Maui and has become the long standing logo for KiwiCarCare, Ltd.
